IMPROVED LOOKING-GLASS AND MATCH-HOLDER.

Specification forming pa t of Letters Patent No. 39,277, dated July 21,1863.

To all whom it muy concern Be it known that I, D. CUMMING, Jr., of NewYork, county and State of New York, have invented a new and improvedarticle 0f manufacture consisting of a looking-glass combined with amatchholder and frictionsurface and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand opera-tion of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a frontelevation Fig. 2, a vertical section.

The same letters refer to corresponding parts in the different flgures.

A is the frame ot the looking-glass B, to which are attached the matchholders C C and' friction-surfaces D D.

In using the above invention the frame is hung on the wall so thatmatches may be taken from the holders land ignited byrubbiug them on thefriction-surfaces.

The above invention can be manufactured at a small cost above 'anordinary lookingglass ofthe same size, and byusing the frame for afriction-surface a much larger surface is obtained than that usually onmatch-holders, thereby preventing the walls ot` rooms and furniture frombeing' injured by rubbing matches ou them.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A new article of manufacture consisting'ot' the combination ot' alookingglass with a match holder and friction-surface, constructedsubstantially as herein set forth.
